Java issue

[Orochimaru]

So I have this issue, I have java 1.8.0 but it requires at least 16? Does anyone know what the issue is? It seems self-explanatory, but updating java to the latest does nothing. Do I need to downgrade to an earlier version?

change your java home, or just change the bat to run with java 16

Neither worked

Neither worked

The issue is infact your java home if you already have it installed, you can install some bats off of the internet and install them globally so you can run code in a command prompt to change your java version whenever you need to. If it doesn't work, you might need to restart your computer.

I've already restarted my computer, that's the first thing I did after updating my Java. Unsure what you mean by installing it globally though, I changed the install location of Java already and that didn't work either. Though I doubt that's what you meant. I was DM'd by someone else to do that, and it didn't work so shrug

What do your environment variables look like?

What do your environment variables look like?

I assume you mean these;

back to default since changing stuff didn't work

Oh no, those aren’t your environment variables. That’s your Java paths, I wouldn’t mess with those.

Then explain?

Search 'environment variables' then go to your system setting and look for 'JAVA_HOME' in System variables, and if it doesn't exist create one with the path to your JDK. If it does exist, just edit the path.

I got it, had to install a different version of Java. 18 was too high
